WHY NO WORDS JAM?

The idea behind this event is to create a game that can exist without depending on words or text to be able to play. Players should be able to pick up a game and enjoy from beginning to end without the limitation of a language barrier.


Theme

"No words."


Rules [updated] 

  • Words, letters, numbers, text, dialog, speech are not allowed in the game, but are allowed on the game page.
  • Non-alphanumeric Emojis are acceptable as long as they aren't used to spell words.
  • Your game may include a UI as long as there is no text or letters used.
  • Voice is ok as long as there are no words.
  • Punctuation marks and (font) symbols are also not allowed.
  • Open to any genre.

  • Must be playable in a browser.
